It's funny how you describe team sports for kids, when I was young it was always used as a system to punish the weak.
Anywho, my favourite hobbies that keep me fit have all been based on not being in a team. Mountain biking was always the best, but now my knees disagree so I'm doing 3D / field archery ... I've managed to make a new friend through that, so even though I'm crap I still enjoy going :-)
The lady on the right might be a Sith!
Probably for the best
Thank you, I'll take a look at those two :-) Necrotech was already on my list, but that was just because of the cover, lol
Cool, I'll keep an eye out for those books!
Does Murderbot have a predefined kill limit?
This is a thoughtful list, and an interesting thing to think about!
I had a trans girlfriend and through her transition it was indeed on her mind a lot. Once she was settled and just being herself it basically became no issue at all.
On a related issue, have you got any good book recommendations for cyberpunk that features other members of the Alphabet Mafia?
I was trying to work out why a program needed more of the bartender from the Simpsons in it.
I don't know of any other Moes.
Well, I went and looked it up and apparently since the iPhone 4 onwards Apple actually started to get their shit together and started supporting their hardware for more than 3 years ... I do find it funny though that an unsupported iPhone can't connect to the app store at all while even the evil Google's old apps can still get live data without problems.
Yes, it's a 3G. In black if minutiae matter to you.
It doesn't have maps, and most websites are unsupported even though it's far newer than the old Android phone.
I can't use the iPhone 3 I have in a drawer, even though there's nothing wrong with it. Meanwhile my HTC that runs Android 1.2 still works with Google maps just fine.
I was also pissed off when all the OSX software dropped support for single-core Intel processors which rendered some very expensive 2 year old machines at work useless for anything Mac-specific.
For context, my Dad is still using a PC I built out of parts recovered from a skip in 2008, and it works just fine.
Do they last longer? I have an IPhone 3 somewhere that just decided to stop working, yet my HTC with Android 1.2 still works fine.
Most of what's held me back from Apple products has been their planned obsolescence, where the OS was no longer supported, which I've never had with a PC. I've had my cheap second hand laptop for 7 years now and that still works fine with the latest software
Same thing with The Guardian, where their feminist opinion pieces were written by an actively transphobic woman for a long time after it was considered not-cool.
